Title: Failed dongle validation
Post by: Hertz14 on September 18, 2022, 09:16:06 PM
I have been searching high and low for invaders from planet Moolah progressive, which is a dongle game similar to wombat. Finally found it, got it, and just my luck- the dongle is not validating.

Has anyone had any luck resurrecting a failed dongle?

Is there a way to find out if this dongle was improperly labeled (albeit a slim chance as its an oem) Maybe in the bios or attendant menu?

What numbers are on the problem dongle label?

That might help someone help you.

S68C and it’s labeled planet Moolah correctly, matches the game card as well.

Try this to identify your dongle, it may be mislabeled, if it is broken, to the best of my knowledge is not fixable.

You can't copy a DRM device, that's the whole purpose of it.  You can't even access the files to read or erase them.

This is perfect. It will tell me what it is or nothing if it’s junk. Thanks Rick!

Followed the directions on the other post- no dongle part number listed on the info screen. Sounds like thats a verified bad dongle :/

Haha good one Ron-

Actually got it from LA slots. He was really cool about it, gave me a refund and said he’d check his inventory to see if he had another. Really wanted that game. :/

Tell that to the dealers who sell "copies" of over priced games. LOL!
